Licensed Background Music for Every Area of Your Hotel
Background music is one of the most powerful and most overlooked tools in hotel management. Studies show that guests who experience a well-curated music atmosphere rate their overall stay higher, spend more at on-site restaurants and bars, and are more likely to return.
But managing music across a hotel is complicated. Your lobby needs a different energy than your spa. Your rooftop bar sounds nothing like your breakfast restaurant. And playing the wrong music or worse, using a personal Spotify account, puts your property at serious legal and financial risk.
Jukeboxy was built specifically for multi-zone hospitality environments. With one subscription, you get fully licensed background music, a centralized dashboard to control every area of your property, and automated scheduling so the right music plays in the right place at the right time — without anyone having to think about it.
Compatible with Your Current Hardware
Jukeboxy works seamlessly with iOS, Android, PC, Mac, Amazon Fire Tablets, and SONOS speaker systems. No new hardware required in most cases, simply download the app on your existing devices and you're ready to go.
Multi-Zone Control - Manage Every Area from One Dashboard
Control the music in your lobby, spa, gym, restaurant, bar, pool area and guest room floors independently — all from a single login. Change the vibe in any zone instantly, from anywhere in the world, using the Jukeboxy Manager App.
Full Licensing Coverage - 100% Legal. Zero Copyright Risk
Personal streaming accounts like Spotify and Apple Music are not licensed for commercial use. Playing them in your hotel could result in fines of up to $150,000 per violation. Jukeboxy covers your property with full licensing from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, GMR, SoundExchange, SOCAN and Re:Sound — so you're always compliant, in both the USA and Canada.
Smart Scheduling - The Right Music, Always!
Set a weekly auto-play schedule for each zone and forget about it. Jukeboxy automatically transitions from energizing morning tracks in the restaurant to relaxing evening melodies in the lobby — without any manual input from your team.
Mood and Genre Control - Curated for Hospitality
Choose from hundreds of hotel-ready playlists curated specifically for hospitality environments. Filter by mood, genre, BPM and energy level to match the exact atmosphere you want in each area of your property. Exclude any genre or artist that doesn't fit your brand.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hotel Music:
Q1: Do hotels need a music license to play background music? Yes. Any music played in a public space, including hotel lobbies, restaurants, spas, gyms and bars, is legally considered a "public performance" and requires licensing from organizations like ASCAP, BMI, SESAC and GMR. Playing unlicensed music, including personal Spotify or Apple Music accounts, can result in significant fines. Jukeboxy's subscription includes all required licenses for both the USA and Canada.
Q2: Can I control different music in different areas of my hotel? Yes. Jukeboxy is built for multi-zone environments. You can set completely different playlists and schedules for every area of your property, lobby, spa, gym, restaurant, bar, pool and more. All managed from one centralized dashboard with a single login.

Q4: Can I use Spotify or Apple Music in my hotel? No. Personal and business accounts on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and Amazon Music are licensed for private, non-commercial use only. Playing them in a hotel lobby, restaurant or any public area is a copyright violation. Jukeboxy is specifically licensed for commercial hospitality use.
Q5: Does Jukeboxy work with SONOS speakers? Yes. Jukeboxy integrates directly with SONOS speaker systems, making it easy to deploy across large hotel properties without replacing existing hardware. It also works with iOS, Android, PC, Mac and Amazon Fire Tablets.
